“Using the GetOutPass withyour employees will bring them closer together, creating a happier, moreproductive workspace.”

Regardless of being the bossor an employee, I am of the belief that no one likes to not have any sort offun at work. There are some out there that believe that they shouldn’t need toget along with their coworkers, and that the workplace is a place to slave awayuntil you’re done and then go home. No friendships, no happy memories, justwork and go home. Which, hey, if that’s how you like living your life, you gofor it.

We at the GetOutPass are allabout being buddies with your coworkers. There’s a great balance that everycompany can achieve by being friends with each other and also doing everythingyou can to make the business thrive. Turns out, you don’t HAVE to dislike thepeople you work with. In fact, we suggest the opposite: you SHOULD be friendswith those you work with. You’d be surprised at the friendships you could makein the workplace. For example, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a little bitof a nerd. I like my poetry, my video games, music theory, etc. The people Iwork with are not super into those things. Despite that, we’ve all learned tobe pretty good buddies! Being friends in the workplace doesn’t mean you have tobe into the same things at all. You can be friends with someone who hasdrastically different interests than you. A little respect and curiosity go along way when it comes to forming new relationships.

I remember my dad working atProctor and Gamble for his entire career. There were dozens of factors thatkept him loyal to a company for 40+ years, and one of those were the KingsIsland Proctor and Gamble days. Back in Cincinnati, there’s an amusement parkcalled Kings Island. The company would buy out two days during the season andtreat their employees and their families to an awesome weekend. Those were someof my favorite days of the summer. As a kid, I was impressed a company would dosomething like this for their employees. I’m deathly loyal to Febreze and Dawnto this day because of that.

Do you need to buy out anentire weekend at your local amusement park for your employees to be happy? No,you likely do not. What we suggest is a far simpler and easier solution: getyour teams on the GetOutPass and let us do the work for you. Going to amusementparks, water parks, and all sorts of entertainment activities is easy, fun, andmemorable. 

Here’s a quote from a localbusiness in Utah that purchased the GetOutPass for all the employees there,“Normally we do a ski day, but the GetOutPass was the most compelling becauseit provided us with quite a few different activities, which provided more bangfor its buck. It allowed us to do something meaningful for the team members[instead of] a single ski day.”
